Been awhile
Haven't posted in quite some time. Been really busy baby sitting the grand children and trying to build a few guns. I check the post here a couple times a month but that's about it. I never thought being a grandpa would take up most of my time like it has. I really love em but wish I had more energy to keep up with a two year old and a ten month old. Tonight I can't do much since I'm cleaning out for a colonoscopy tomorrow. So I figured I'd post a few of my most recent projects, three rifles and a pair of pistols. Wish I had two of me one to work the other to be with the grand babies.

Re: Been awhile
Darn nice work there!
I'm guestimating I'm another 10 years off from grandfatherhood. Maybe 5 if I'm lucky. Don't know how I am going to keep up!!!

Re: Been awhile
Those rifles and pistols are fantastic.
Did you do the checkering on the pistols? Looks very fine.

As far as the kids go slow down, they WILL be the death of you!
One couple I knew had a couple kids and when they were at work the wife's mother would take care of them. It led to an early grave!

Re: Been awhile
Thanks guys. Nath, I did do the checkering on the pistols. The checkering goes all the way around the grip and was a bit of a challenge.
Re: Been awhile
Fantastic! Hondo you ever take any varnishing tips from violin makers? They've been working maple for many centuries. I ask because having looked at these pics a number of times, the color is awesome. The checkering is striking as well. Well done.
I might add that those violin cats might get some good pointers from you.
